“He accused me of being an infidel by converting to Christianity, and that Allah will reward them in Jannah if they kill me.”
Jannah is Islamic paradise, where the legendary virgins serve the blessed.
The death penalty for apostasy is part of Islamic law. It’s based on the Qur’an: “They wish you would disbelieve as they disbelieved so you would be alike. So do not take from among them allies until they emigrate for the cause of Allah. But if they turn away, then seize them and kill them wherever you find them and take not from among them any ally or helper.” (Qur’an 4:89)
A hadith depicts Muhammad saying: “Whoever changed his Islamic religion, then kill him” (Bukhari 9.84.57). The death penalty for apostasy is part of Islamic law according to all the schools of Islamic jurisprudence.
This is still the position of all the schools of Islamic jurisprudence, both Sunni and Shi’ite. Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi, the most renowned and prominent Muslim cleric in the world, has stated: “The Muslim jurists are unanimous that apostates must be punished, yet they differ as to determining the kind of punishment to be inflicted upon them. The majority of them, including the four main schools of jurisprudence (Hanafi, Maliki, Shafi’i, and Hanbali) as well as the other four schools of jurisprudence (the four Shiite schools of Az-Zaidiyyah, Al-Ithna-‘ashriyyah, Al-Ja’fariyyah, and Az-Zaheriyyah) agree that apostates must be executed.”
Qaradawi also once famously said: “If they had gotten rid of the apostasy punishment, Islam wouldn’t exist today.”
“Evangelist Beaten, Tied Up to Be Burned for Converting,” Morning Star News, February 16, 2022:
NAIROBI, Kenya (Morning Star News) – Muslim relatives of a Christian evangelist on Feb. 6 beat and tied him up to be burned to death after he returned home for a funeral in eastern Uganda, he said.
Malingumu Bruhan, 34, returned to Kaliro District for his grandfather’s funeral in Muhira village, Nawaikoke, and then accepted his uncles’ request to stay and visit, as they said they had not seen him for a long time, he said.
Other visitors had left when Bruhan’s uncle, Ndifakulya Musa, began rebuking him, he said.
“My uncle accused me of embarrassing them by holding Christian evangelistic, open-air meetings and debates with Muslims,” Bruhan told Morning Star News. “He accused me of being an infidel by converting to Christianity, and that Allah will reward them in Jannah [garden paradise] if they kill me.”
Bruhan remained quiet, he said.
“He said to me that it is now the right time for me to receive punishment from Allah, whereby I was going to be burned alive and the birds of the air will enjoy me as their meat,” Bruhan said.
As Bruhan continued keeping silent, his uncles’ anger grew, he said.
“They started beating me up as others gathered firewood, while another was sent to go for petrol because they wanted to use it to burn me alive,” Bruhan said.
As his uncles were waiting for the fuel, another convert from Islam who had accompanied Bruhan to the funeral came looking for him but was told he was nowhere in the vicinity, he said. The friend spied Bruhan’s shoe, which had come off as his uncles dragged him off for slaughter, Bruhan said.
“My friend made several phone calls after finding my shoe, and they arrived and started searching for me,” he said. “They found me behind the house about 100 meters away, tied and with firewood around me. They tried calling the police, which scared the attackers, and they fled.”
Having sustained head injuries, Bruhan was taken to a clinic at Bulumba town, then later transferred to another area undisclosed for security reasons.
An evangelist well-known in Mbale, Iganga, Jinja and Kampala for his public debates with Muslims about Christianity and Islam, Bruhan has survived 11 murder attempts, he said.
“By God’s grace I overcame the Muslims’ planned attacks,” Bruhan said.
His Muslim relatives had ostracized him in 2017 following his conversion, saying that as an apostate he had brought shame to the family, he said….

It’s so good that he has survived satan’s attempts to have him silenced.
The “paradise” mozlums seek, as described, is one of filth. Not a “paradise” at all, except in the minds of those who serve satan and become his children, doing his desires.
This man should avoid going “home” to see his relatives. They are not going to listen to him or accept that he has a “freedom of choice” allowed by man’s Creator.

The vicious version of what god is supposed to be like that MUslims believe in, has led to 1400 years of murder and endless evil mayhem. This case here is just another example of what belief in such an evil and violent version of god brings. Muslims are always getting around thinking that killing people is going to lead them to paradise. I think that their bullshit version of what god is like, a hate filled monster who is always calling for people to be killed, is 100% wrong but it has led to so much evil for 1400 years so far and is still showing no signs of ending.

Mohammed commanded the killing of apostates, and promises eternal rewards for doing so:
Hadith: “When I relate to you the words of Mohammed, by Allah, I would rather die than bear false witness to his teachings. However, if I should say something unrelated to the prophet, then it might very well be a lie so that I might deceive my enemy. Without question, I heard Mohammed say, “In the final days before Redemption there will emerge groups of foolish youths who will say all the right things but their faith will go no further than their mouths and will flee from their religion like an arrow. So, kill the apostates wherever you find them, because whoever does so will be rewarded on Judgment Day.” -Sahih Bukhari 9,84,64

Thanks for that, mortimer. All I can say is, what a disgraceful concept of what god is like the Muslims have. And such a concept of god has brought so much death and suffering to so many non-Muslims over the 1400 years of murder and misery that islam has caused. It is also pathetic for any religion to threaten to murder people who decide to leave that religion. People need to be able to follow their conscience.

Religions do not find people … People find religions that suit them and reflect their belief systems. Said another way, these savages would kill regardless….

Uganda: Muslims try to burn convert to Christianity alive, say Allah will reward them in paradise if they kill him
………………..
Just horrifying. Glad this man survived–thank god for his friends!
And yes–killing Infidels and apostates is orthodox Islam. Murdering your relatives gets you “paradise” in Islam.

You hear about this *all the time*. Muslims luring victims back with lies that ‘all is forgiven’ so they can “Honor Kill” their victims. Just appalling.

*11 murder attempts*–for peacefully converting to Christianity. He should leave the area–not thst he should have to, but I don’t imagine these attempts to kill him will stop. And this is in a country that is anything but Muslim-majority.

Islam: converting to a peaceful faith “brings shame”; luring family members so you can murder them, not so much…
God, I hate Islam.
Alfredo says
The depravity and inhumanity of these Muhammadan murderers is beyond belief. How can they do that a family member? To lure him with deceitful promises of reconciliation, but harbouring murderous intent is the unmistakable mark of evil.
These savages have a heart made of stone as black as the stone they climb on top of each other just like cockroaches to kiss it. Contemptible.
The living God, Lord of Hosts will most certainly punish them on the Day of Judgment, just as day follows the night. On that day they will find out the god they have been willfully worshipping is Satan himself.
